Screwball Boxes These are made from the seeds of palm trees.  Each nut has a flaw in it, and in order to eliminate the flaw and do something with it, I make small screws out of African Blackwood - I am currently making standard slot pan heads and wing nuts - and chase holes for them in the boxes.  The scews have 20 tpi threads and the boxes join with 16 tpi threads.  The boxes are generally about 2.25 inches in diameter.    Don't know what to call it Box This one is made out of seeds of the palm tree.  It is 2 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall.  It is joined by a 16tpi thread and is finished with Carnuba wax    Pagoda Box I got this idea from my time living in Japan.  The bottom is of the box is made out of African Blackwood and the lid is made out of Muhuhu.  The box is 4.5 by 3 inches, the thread is 16 tpi, and the box is finished with Carnuba wax.    Box Cubed One of the really fun boxes.  To the best of my knowledge, this box can not serve any useful purpose.  The outside box is 4.25 by 2.75 inches, has 16 tpi threads, and is made out of Lignum Vitae.  The lid is 2.9 by 1.4 inches, has 20 tpi threads, and is made out of Lao Boxwood/  The ball box is 0.67 inche in diameter, has 28 tpi threads, and is smade out of Wooly Mammoth tusk.    Acorn Box The lid of the box is made out of Cocobolo and the bottom is made out of the shell of an A.O. Palm nut.  It is 1.9 by 2.9 inches, has a 16 tpi thread, and is finished with Carnuba wax.    Hairy Acorn Box Another Acorn Box.  This one is 2 by 3 inches, the lid is made out of Bloodwood and the base is the shell of a Black Forest Coconut, the thread is 16 tpi, and the lid is finished with Carnuba wax.    Acorn Box Another acorn box.  This one is 2 by 3 inches.  The lid is made our of African Blackwood with a little sapwood on it, and the shell is the nut meat of a Giant Raphia nut.  It is finished with Carnuba wax.    Onion Top Box This one is 8 by 4 inches.  The top is made out of Jambala and the bottom is made out of Lignum Vitae and joined with 16tpi threads.  The top has Carnuba wax on it, but the bottom contains enough of its own waxes and oils that no finish is necesarry.    Onion Top Box This one is 7.5 by 4 inches.  The top is made out of Jambala and the bottom is Lignum Vitae and joined with a 16tpi thread.  The top is finished with Carnuba wax and the Lignum on the bottom is free of any finish.    Domed Box This box is made out of Bocote, has a 12 tpi thread, is 1.25 by 3.125 inches, and finished with Carnuba wax.    Egyptian Urn This is modeled after an Egyptian funerial urn.  The base is made out of African Blackwood and the lid is Lao Boxwood.  It is 3 by 5.25 inches, has a 16 tpi thread, and is finished with Carnuba wax.    Domed Black and White This box is made out of Holly and African Blackwood.  The Holly, while beautiful, is not hard enough to take a thread, so I chased a 16 thread in an African Blackwood insert.  The box is 2 by 3 inches and finished with Tung oil.
